Bennett also captained the GDFNL’s interleague team, which defeated Colac and District on the King’s Birthday public holiday, winning the Daryl Jones Medal as the Raiders’ best player.
Meanwhile, two-time Neville Whitley medallist Matt James has signed with Mininera and District club Tatyoon.
James won the second of his Whitley medals with Corio last year.
He played 11 senior games in 2025, but none after Round 12.
